[#5974786]

Been a few years since I flew with my bike. I used to let all the air out of the shocks and let most of the air out of my tyres, so they had about 10psi in them.

I presume some people have flown tubeless - ok?
Do I still need to let the air out of my forks?

Thanks

Oxy,

No issues at all. I left all alone when flying to and from Australia and everything was fine. I may have been asked by the check-in staff if I had let the tyres down and I believe I may have fibbed a little.

I've never let them down and never had issues.
The luggage compartment is pressurised.

Yes always let them down... Just like the pilots do after take off. ๐Ÿ˜†

If it's in a box, just lie when asked.

Do not ask the check in staff whether the pilots will be letting the air out of their tyres.
